Sorry, this is my first time asking a question.
I think reincarnation is very strange.
What happens to the souls etc. of people who have been born again after being born again?
Also, when life after being reborn comes to an end. What will happen to the soul?
the soul of a person from a previous life? I was wondering if they would go to heaven to be reborn again or whether the souls of those who were born again would go to heaven.
Sorry for the confusing question.
I don't think the soul has to think about anything.
There is no wandering soul, and a new creature is born the moment after death.
It is thought that if you die after being reborn, you will be reborn again.
In Buddhism, it is said that reincarnation has been repeated since immortality (long ago, when the beginning was unknown).
However, it is thought that only those who have attained enlightenment and are completely free from worries (Buddha or Arakan) can be freed from the cycle of reincarnation.
According to the Buddhist idea of the Rikudō Reincarnation, it is not a place called heaven, and there is a possibility that you will be reborn as a type of creature called heaven.
Heaven is a creature like a god. There are heaven, man, ashura, hell, ghost, and animal life as the six ways (six types of creatures caught up in greed), and most people are reincarnated into any of them.
Heaven (gods) also have a lifespan, and if they die, they are reborn again.
From the standpoint of the Jodo Shinshu sect, they explain that “everything has no soul.”
(*There is also the idea of acknowledging souls, but the Jodo Shinshu sect does not take that position)
The absence of a soul is called “selflessness,” “selflessness,” and “emptiness.”
However, the Buddha preaches reincarnation.
In other words, “those without a soul are reincarnated” is a Buddhist story.
“Well then what reincarnates?” The question arises, but interpreting it requires slightly difficult Buddhist teaching knowledge, so I'll leave it out here.
There is no soul, so they don't float around after death or become like a conditionally bound spirit.
The outcome of all life is twofold.
It's about reincarnation or death.
There are two types: the next life will begin, or you will be freed and born in the Pure Land.

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.
Regarding matters after death, we have answered the following questions until now.
http://blog.livedoor.jp/hasunoha_kawaguchi/archives/cat_324660.html
As for the main points of these contents,
1. As a basic position of Buddhism, what happened after death is rejected as “unrecorded,” and that discussions are meaningless or unprofitable.
Next, even if we discuss matters after death in a convenient way for the time being,
1. If you assume that you have nothing after death, it will become an annihilation theory, and it may cause adverse effects due to falling into emptiness or despair.
1. If you assume that you have something after death, it will become a permanent theory, and it may cause adverse effects due to acknowledging reality and individuality.
First, it doesn't mean that you don't have a self after death, and if you don't have one, you will eventually fall into an indeterminism that you don't know the translation for, and you may end up falling into something ambiguous and sloppy.
Based on the above, as a humble opinion at the moment, I will try to explain it by assuming the “continuum of mind” and “mental inheritance” as something that is auspicious when left empty.
However, this “continuum of mind” and “mental inheritance” is only something that can be assumed and determined by logical reasoning, and I know that the problem is that practice is necessary to firmly understand and be convinced of what it really is.
Anyway, what I can say is that good causes have good results, and bad causes have bad results, and my current state of being is a result of past causal relationships, and if that state of being is in the midst of lost suffering, then after all, there was a causal relationship that only led to that hesitation and suffering, and if I wanted to do something about this hesitation and suffering, I would like to change future causal relationships to better ones. If you are worried about things after death, it is important to do better now, anyway, and there are many methodologies and hints in Buddhism, so I would be grateful if you could take this opportunity to proceed with your studies of Buddhism.

It's the thought of a living human being.
Please stay calm and observe things rationally.
Are there any living people in this world who have died?
“Buddhist thought is a 'thought', not Buddhism.” Please enjoy the word carefully.
If you really want to know the truth, let's also cherish the doubt that what I'm thinking might be an imaginary painting made by someone else...
